Wooing the Right Kind of Voter

What with corporations wrecking the country and the coalition doing all it can to help, the leader of the wannabe wing of the British Neoliberal Party has been backing up his bleats for a more responsible capitalism with a bleat about immigration. The Upper (formerly Lower) Miliband said that Labour had been too quick to dismiss the prejudices of ordinary people as prejudices, and made clear his resolution to pander rather than educate. Speaking as the descendant of Polish-Jewish refugees, the Upper (formerly Lower) Miliband objected to Gordon Brown's quasi-BNP slogan "British jobs for British workers" on much the same grounds as Baroness Warsi once attacked the BNP itself: namely that one should not promise ethnic cleansing when the best one has to offer is social cleansing. "We have to confront the fact you cannot address people's concerns about immigration unless you change the way the economy works," said the Upper (formerly Lower) Miliband, and promised to change the way the economy works by "reviewing" (in Standard English, cutting) benefits and giving incentives to corporations, which will certainly make all the difference.
